21-aastasest Alexandra Ealast (WTA 28.) sai esimene Filipiinide tennisist, kes v\u00f5itnud WTA turniiri.<\/p>\n
Eala alistas Washingtonis toimunud 500 kategooria k\u00f5vakattega turniiril teel finaali kolm asetusega vastast: seitsmenda asetusega tiitlikaitsja Leylah Fernandeze (WTA 34.), teise asetusega ukrainlanna Elina Svitolina (WTA 10.) ja kolmanda asetusega Naomi Osaka (WTA 13.).<\/p>\n
P\u00fchap\u00e4eval alanud finaalis l\u00e4ks Eala vastamisi k\u00f5rgeimat asetust omanud Jessica Pegulaga (WTA 3.). Favoriidi rollis olnud ameeriklanna v\u00f5itis esimese seti 6:4, kuid teise seti alguses mat\u0161 peatati tugeva vihmasaju t\u00f5ttu.<\/p>\n
Esmasp\u00e4eval j\u00e4tkasid naised teise seti m\u00e4ngimist seisul 2:1 Eala kasuks ning filipiinlanna ei j\u00e4tnud Pegulale erilist s\u00f5na\u00f5igust, saavutades 6:4 setiv\u00f5idu ja v\u00f5ites otsustava seti 6:0. Seejuures sai Pegula kolmandas setis kirja ainult kaheksa punkti.<\/p>\n
“Tunnen tohutut armastust. See oli minu esimene v\u00f5imalus v\u00f5ita WTA tiitel ning teadsin, et isegi kui kaotan, siis see ei j\u00e4\u00e4 kindlasti minu viimaseks v\u00f5imaluseks. Juba ainu\u00fcksi finaali j\u00f5udmine oli minu karj\u00e4\u00e4ris m\u00e4rgiline verstapost. Teadsin, et olenemata sellest, mis finaalis juhtub, ma olen juba v\u00f5itnud,” r\u00e4\u00e4kis Eala mat\u0161i j\u00e4rel.<\/p>\n
Karj\u00e4\u00e4ri esimese WTA turniiriv\u00f5idu teeninud Eala t\u00f5useb maailma edetabelis esmakordselt 20 parema sekka, eeldatavasti 20. positsioonile.<\/p>\n
Esmasp\u00e4eva \u00f5htul selgub Washingtoni turniiril ka meeste \u00fcksikm\u00e4ngu v\u00f5itja, kui finaalis kohtuvad kodupubliku toetust nautiv Taylor Fritz (ATP 9.) ja hispaanlane Rafael Jodar (ATP 15.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"21-aastasest Alexandra Ealast (WTA 28.) sai esimene Filipiinide tennisist, kes v\u00f5itnud WTA turniiri.
